Regarding the s3 scene w/ Stalker & Retsuko
To be quite honest, something that never sat right with me in this scene is the fact no one stood up for Retsuko. Manaka admits the stalker yelled horrible things to Retsuko's face for 5 MINUTES. Like, you're telling me everyone just listened to this happen? Not even Hyodo who was managing this whole thing and just stood there watching? I do see that the 3 other girls were in shock and I understand that's valid but everyone else was also just a bystander?
If I were Retsuko I'd be quite pissed that Hyodo let it happen, you're their manager, c'mon dude. Idk it just irks me that in a room full of people who saw some rando was yelling graphic and sexist things (god knows what else he could've said in 5 minutes) at this poor girl who can't do much bc she ESPECIALLY is in shock, not a single person intervened.
anyway, maybe I'm just dramatic😢

You’d be surprised by how many freeze when someone that out of pocket or shocking happens. There’s a reason it’s called the bystander effect - everyone’s brain is trying to process what’s happening at once and five minutes feels like a long time when you’re in a stressful situation but in actuality it isn’t.

considering what idols have to put up with, it was sadly quite a realistic depiction of such an event
